For four years I have run a flower stall in Kassel. In August, a long illness and repossession took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 weeks. This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment. Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $2,500 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $1,600 • Working capital for the first month: $540 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $360 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Andrea

  2. Update from Kassel: we've started the first stage. We're at 54% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($498). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward replacing display cabinets and a cooler.

    Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 9 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Mumbai.

        stay strong. Small businesses are the heart of Kassel. Hope you're open again soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
